NCT ID NCT06657885

First seen Jun 25, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026 · Updated 1 time

Summary

This was a planned phase 2 study to test a combination of two long-acting drugs, cabotegravir and lenacapavir, for people with HIV who have tried many treatments. The goal was to see if switching to these injections every two months could keep the virus under control. However, the study was withdrawn before enrolling any participants, so no results are available.

What this could mean

Our plain-language read of the trial. This is informational only — not medical advice or a prediction.

Active substance

cabotegravir and lenacapavir (injectable and oral forms)

What this could lead to

If successful, this could offer a new long-acting injectable option for HIV patients who have difficulty with daily pills or have drug resistance.

What could go wrong

The trial was withdrawn before any participants were enrolled, so no data was collected. The combination is still experimental and may not prove effective or safe in larger studies.
